Exception Handling — Ruby Code

Demonstrates the use of begin-rescue-ensure for robust error handling in Ruby.

def divide(a, b)
	begin
		result = a / b
		puts "Result: #{result}"
	rescue ZeroDivisionError => e
		puts "Error: Division by zero!"
	ensure
		puts "Division attempt finished."
	end
end

divide(10, 2)
divide(5, 0)
